aferro, Confederate commanders, vsrc both
severely wounded. The troops engaged on
the Union side were the brigades OF Gems.
Gbbon and Doubleday.
There were three days battles ON and near
the old Bull Run battle-ground. They oc-
Cured Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Aug.
%, 90, 80. The first is properly called the
battle of Gainesville, the second that OF
Groveton, the third and last, Manassas The
last one is usually termed the second battle
of Bull Run"
At the first of the three fights, that OF
Gainesville, the brgades of Gibbon and
Doubleday suffered severely. They might
have been REINFORCED, as other brigades were
near them, but this was not done. The fight
ing continued until into the night.
At Washington, meantime, oil was panic
and ignorance Halleciz did not know where
Pope was, and nobody knew where the next
Confederate blow would fall, whether on
Pope's army, Washington OF the Shenandoah
Valley. Jackson himself was puzzled to
know what the Federal troops were about.
When he fought the battle of Gainesville, he
seems to have believed Pope's army was in
full retreat for Washington, and that he had
brush with tho passing edge of it. All
was middle on both sides.

L. 1861 He afterward saw much severe fighting.
He is now retired brigadier general, living IN
New York city, and engaged in scientific and
literary pursuits. He contributed the volume
charlottesville and Gettysburg to the Cam
paigns of the Civil War;
In the battle of Groveton, Aug. 20, both
forces took up the fight which had been left
unfinished near Gainesville the night before.
Groveton was village on tho Warrenton
turnpike, which led to Alexandria. Grove
ton was near the center of the three days
fighting. A little to the northeast of Grove
ton was the historic stream of Dull Run,
whence the fighting grounds hereabouts
gained their name. Bull Run flows SOUTH
east and empties into the Potomac.
At the battle of Grovetoh, the Goth, Jack
son fronted nearly south, his left at Sudley
Ford on Bull Run, his right at Groveton.
Sigel's corps attacked his right at daylight,
and there was bloody fight there till 1890,
with varied result. Milroy and Carl Schurz
made fierce charges on the Confederate line.
Amid the conflicting accounts and recrimi-
nations which grew out of the battle of
Groveton. Aug. 20, it is hard to get at the
truth about that fight 1t seems clear how
ever, that Thoroughfarc Cap was the key to
victory for Pope. 1t might be called q second
Thermopyle. Two brigades OF Federal
troops could have held it against ten times
their number. 1t was the mountain pass to-
ward which Longstreet was marching with
his whole heavy division, and through which
he must pass to join Jackson at Groveton.
If the pass had been well guarded he could
not have gone through it. Then Popes army
might have defeated Jackson before he was
REINFORCED 1t was what Pope planned to
do. He expected Longstreet's coming. In
an order issued the morning of tho Goth, he
mentioned that by tomorrow night OF next
dayn Longstreet would be upon them.

wheat field over which they had como. Pope,
who was coming up with Ricketts, division
just at dark, met the retrcating columns.
The battle line was formed anew then, and
jackson, who was in pursuit, attacked once
more, but was met SO vigorously that he
dessted, and bivouaclSed OH the battle field.
In the battle of Cedar Mountain Brig. Gen.
s. w. Crawford made upon the Confederate
left a heroic ciarge, which has become ia
nous.
The battle of Cedar Mountain was bloody
one. The Union side lost in killed, wounded
and prisoners over 1900 men, the Confeder-
ates less than 1,400. 1t is noted for the largo
number OF officers killed and wounded ON
both sides.
After this battle neither army moved for
two days. On the 18th the dead were buried.
Then Jackson with his army retreated south
across the Rapidan toward Orange Court
House, and Aug IA held divine service, in
which he gave thanks to God for the victory
at Cedar run.
Gen. John Buford took very active part in

ginia. They regarded his appointment rs q
snub TO Mcclellan, in measure, and re-
sented it in various ways, as was claimed.
Early in August, 1862, Gen. Mcclellan deter
mined, from his camp at Harrison's landing,
ON the James, to make On attack ON Rich
mond. Hooker and Sedgwick took possession
of Malvern Hill OH the 4th, and made a re-
connoissance toward Richmond. Officers
and men were in fighting trim and enthusi-
astic. But suddenly, tho night OF Aug. a,
there came an order from Halleck for Nc
Clellan to leave the James, and withdraw
from the peninsula with his whole army
Mcclellan demonstrated earnestly. Both
sides OF the James were in his hands, and he
could now attack Richmond with good hope
of success He begged to be permitted to do
persuade Mcclellan to fatty disobey Hal
Ieck's order "You might as well die for
sheep as lamb,n argued Hooker.
TO McClellans remonstrance against the
order Halleck telegraphed only: "The order
will not be rescinded, and you will be ex-
pected to execute it with oil possible prompt
mesa"
Accordingly, with heavy heart, McClel-
Ian prepared to move his army out OF the
peninsula to Acquia creek and nearer Pope.
If Mcclellan and Halleck had only known
it, Richmond could then have been taken
almost without blow, for by the 18th OF
August that city had been nearly stripped OF
troops.
Tho next campaign in Virginia was to be
fought in q region south and somewhat east
of where the last one had closed in the Shen-
andoah valley.
The reader will observe on the map the
town OF Gordonsville, on the Orange and
Alexandria railroad. The Confederates We're
well informed as to Federal movements.
They early learned that Pope's forces were
concentrating near Gordonsvile. This was
a railroad center, and kept Richmond in COM
municaton with the region both TO the west
ward and southwark, enabling it to draw
supplies.
Pope resolved to take possession of Cor
louisville An order TO seize it and destroy
the railroads had been given as early as July
IA, but was not carried out
TO preserve Gordonsville Lee had hurried
division after division of his army away from
Richmond to that place. First Jackson and
Ewell went, then A. p. Hill, to protect Cor
louisville jackson and Ewell went as early
as July 13. Aug. IS, just at the time Nc
Clellan was Withdrawing reluctantly from
the James, the rest of the Confederate divi-
sions, Longstreet's and Hoods, and nearly all
of Magruder's and Huger's, started to join the
main body at Gordonsville. There was thus
prospect for large fight. The scene was
now to be changed from the Chickahominy
and the Shenandoah TO the Rappahannoci
and Bull Run.
Brig. Gems. Buford and Bayard had COM
mand of Pope's cavalry.

marches. They had travelled fifty miles In
two days with only green corn and apples to
eat. Many OF them limped along barefoot.
Yetthere was not a straggler, and they were
ready for fight
BY the evening of Aug. 20 the advance OF
Jackson's men were at Manassas Junction ON
the railroad which supplied Pope. A great
number of supplies was there, which the Con-
federates destroyed after getting one square
meal" out them.
Hooker was at Bristoe Station, seven miles
from Manassas, and Fitz John Porter was at
Warrenton Junction, nine miles away, with
$500 men. They were the advance of Pope's
army That general had become aware Of
Jackson's movement, and had decided to
march his whole army to Manassas and
Gainesville.
By Aug 81 Gen. Pope had got reinforce
ments to tho number of not quite 23, 900 men
from the Army of the Potomac. They We're
of the flower OF that army, including Fitz
John Porter's corps, with his troops OF the
regular army, under the division command
ers Morel and Sykes. Gen. Reynolds was
also there with his division Of the Pennsyl-
vania Reserves. Gen. Meade was one Of the
brigade commanders.
Longstreet was following jackson, mean
attacked the rear. He was marching rap
idly, pressing toward Thoroughfare Gap.
His position as well as that of Jackson was
extremely ticlslish If Pope could fall on
them separately, before Lees whole army
could come up, then each would be cut to
pieces. The greatest watchfulness night and
day was observed. On the morning of the
Goth Longstreet observed that his brigades
were being suddenly halted on different
roads. With no apparent reason they
stopped and remained stock still, although
he was hurrying them forward at the top of
their speed In a towering rago he rodo for
ward to find out the reason. He was told q
courier had brought orders from Gen. Lee,
directing the army to halt
"Wherc is that courierg demanded Long
street.
"Theic, galloping down the road" said a
brigadier.
"Overtake him; bring him to me-" cried
Longstreet.
He was halted and brought back
II must be OF to the rear said the courier,
endeavoring to go free; II have orders for
Longstreet."
"Iam Gen. Longstreet," said that individ-
ual. "Whero are your orders"
The man turned deathly white and did not
answer Ho was Union spy.
"Give this man ten minutes and hang him,
Numbered Longstreet. "Let the columns
push forward Immediately"
! The columns moved on. But when they
did so they left behind them a man in Con
federate gray hanging to roadside tree,

experiences he was called east in June and
placed at the head of the Army of Virginia.
He was to reorganize and consolidate it. In
July he became a brigadier general in the
regular army.
At the close Of the campaign, which is the
subject of this chapter in war history, in Sep
tember, 1862, Gen. Pope requested to be re-
lieved Of tho command of the Army of Vir-
ginia and go back west. He was permitted
to do so, and received back his old command
in the northwest. He is now retired from the
regul,~ army.

He was involved In q series OF unfortunate de-

cHANTILLY. OR OK HILL.

The battle of Chantilly was fought on Mon.
day, Sept. /, on ridge called Ok Hill, near
tho village of Chantilly. The Confederatcs,
therefore, coll this fight tho battle OF Ok Hill,
or Germantown. The ridge lies a little north
east of Centreville, whittier the Federal troops
had fed after the defeat at Manassas, Aug. 80.
Jackson pursued tho retreating army toward
Centreville He crossed Bull Run at Sudley's
ford the morning of the 3lst. Pope had been
REINFORCED by Summers and Franklin's esA
cellent corps of McClellan's army. They had
come up from Alexandria. Pope had now
G2,000 men.
The afternoon Of Sept. tho two armies
fought at Ok Hill, in the midst of storm
which out Numbered even the roar Of cannon.
Jackson had hoped to reach Fairfax Court
House, in the rear Of the Federal army, and
cut Off its communication with Washington.
The battle was opened with an attack by
Stuart's Confederate cavalry. First the Con
federates were driven back. Then they, re-
enforced, repulsed the Union troops belong
ing to Gen. Isaac I. Stevens division of Reno's
corps. In this action Gen. Stevens, a gallant
officer, was killed. Gen. Phil Kearney dashed

He galloped away. But the soldier fired a

few minutes. The Confederates sent bis body
under q flag of truce to his own men next day.
Thick darkness closed the combat on the
field of Chantilly, where there was bloody
fighting. but no victory for either side
The Union forces engaged in the battle Of
Ok Hill or Chantilly were of the corps Of
Reno and Heintzelman. The Confederate
troops were chiefly those of Stonewall jack
son, among them the veteran troops of Ewell,
Early and A. p. Hill. Longstreet's advance
came UP about the time the battle was ended.
Pope's army suffered greatly for want or
supplies during the three days fighting and
Immediately subsequent. His cavalry horses
were especially used up. On the first day of
September he wrote to Gen. Halleck: "There
are not five horses to company that can
raise a trot." in his official report, made
afterward, he says that on tho morning of
Aug. 30, when the battle of Manassas was
fought, his troops had had little to eat for
two days, his cavalry horses nothing at all,
and had not been uiisaddled for ten days. He
also complains bitterly of the want of loyalty
to himself among the soldiers and officers Of
tho Army of the Potomac, occasioned by their
partisan feeling for Mcclellan, whom Pope
had partially superseded

in Virginia.

with Pope's Retreat to Washington.
September 1-Fighting Every Step OF
the vay-The Three Days Battles at
Bull Hun, Gainesville, Groveton and
Manassas.
1t was a quarter of century ago on June
90 that Maj. Gen. John Pope was appointed
TO command the Army OF Virginia. The
scattered forces of Banks, Fremont and
Mcdowell that had been demoralized by tho
movements of Stonewall Jackson in the
Shenandoah valley were to to be united into
one army, the Army of Virginia, and put
under one head That head was Gen. Pope.
There were three corps under the COM
manders named. Fremont resigned when
Pope was appointed, and his corps--th First
was given TO Gen. Franz Sigel. Banks COM
manded the Second corps, Mcdowell tho
Third The three contained altogether not
quite $4,000 men. But one marked feature
OF this Army of Virginia was the great num-
Der of stragglers connected with il. After
the second battle of Bull Run Pope himself
complained of it and said half the great
diminution of his forces there was caused by
s'straggling and sllulking from the army"
Gen. Gordon in his book, the "Army of Vir-
ginia,n remarks of one corps that its MEM
bers seldom reported in full except at meal
time The cause of this want OF discipline Is
hard to trace.

ond battle of Bull Run in 1862 lie remained In
the regular army till 1882, when he resigned hav-
ing first been promoted to be major general He
died in 1885.
Pope assumed his new duties with cnthusi-
nsm. From the first he and Mcclellan diff
fered as to the conduct of the war before
Richmond. Pope especially opposed the re-
treat to the James, and thought that instead
the Army of the Potomac should seek to re-
treat by the north bank Of the Chickahominy
and Hanover Court House The differences
became serious. At last both generals re-
ouested that a commander in chief be ap-
pointed over them and over all tho armies.
This was done, and July 23 Gen. Henry w.
Halleclx became commander in chief of all
the forces of the United States
Pope, OH taking command of the Virginia
army, announced that his headquarters
would be in the saddle He>further issued a
proclamation to the soldiers:
IL have come from the west" he told
them, "whcre we have always seen the backs
of our enemies, from an army whose business
has been to seek the adversary and beat him
when found, whose policy has been attack
and not defepse"
Gen. Pope issued orders from Washington
to his army, but did not join it in person till
the last of July.
The orders he issued have been criticised
severely. One required troops to subsist on
the country as far as was practicable An
other declared that non-combatants in the
neighborhood of the army should be held re-
sponsible for damage to military property,
guerrilla attacks on soldiers, and all acts OF
private hostility. A third bulletin ordered
that oil tho male inhabitants within the lines
of his army should take tho oath of ale
uiance 10 the United States government.
Those who refused were to be sent out of the
lines. Whoever took the oath and violated
&c was to be shot, The Confederate. govern
ment had issued orders similar to these in
Tennessee, nearly year before.
Pope began military operations. by bring
in6.-{he detacbments of his army nearer to-
gether, making line some forty miles long
Bigel's and Banks corps were posted at Sper-
ryville, which will be seen upon the map.
Ricketts, division of McDowelrs corps was
placed twenty miles east of this, ut Waterloo
bridge over the north fork Of the Rappahan-
(. mock, while Gen. Rufus Kings division Of
McDowell's corps was left at Fredericksburg.
IL Is an unfortunate circumstance belong
ing to this part of the history of the war
that there was Ill feeling among several OF
the generals with the armies OF the east.
This had It's influence on the campaign OF
Virginia. Mcclellan had the gift of attach
ing men to him enthusiastically. His innu-
cnce over many OF tue officers under him
was unbounded.
They repealed jealously any measure look
ing to weakening Of his authority. Il was
charged that some on this account gave only
n hall hearted support to the efforts Of other
generals, particularly those OF Pope IN Vir-
